The thing to realize about terrorism

The last couple of terror stories I have read about or heard about have made me notice something (something obvious to the tolerant but not so much to the intolerant).

What does the black dude who tried to blow up a plane, a white dude who had been training as a terrorist, a white woman who wanted to kill a Swedish cartoonist, and a middle eastern (but born in America) student all have in common?

All of them went under the radar of terrorism. None of them would be suspected of terrorism at first glance because they had none of the markings on the outside that would say "terrorist".

Of course now with the black guy, white America will assume if you are black you are a terrorist. But they probably won't do the same for the whites.

Terrorists are finding ways to use American idiocy against Americans. They know you can dismantle a country with racism...they realize that Americans are so busy judging people's character and life on stereotypes that most would never think that the white woman with a child and a grocery cart could be an undercover terrorist.

American stupidity at its best.

This shows you the reason stereotypes are bad. Its like with shoplifting, blacks are detained more yet whites commit it more. But this doesn't stop the stereotype. This is why I do not feel sorry for businesses because they are so busy going off of stereotypes that they are being robbed under their nose...they deserve it at that rate since the don't seem to really care.

People think that stereotypes help ultimately...but do they really? Terrorists can figure out the stereotype and just as easily go under the radar once they know it. If anything, America is handing a win to the enemy!
